Luonnonkaunis metsä kasvatti mestarin, sen halkaiseva latu.Latu on tositapahtumiin pohjautuva kertomus nilsiäläisen maailmanmestarihiihtäjän Pauli Pitkäsen rosoisesta elämästä. Se kertoo korvessa kasvaneen miehen noususta menestykseen, 1930-luvun urheiluhurmoksesta, sankaruuden hinnasta ja monista välillä hyvinkin väärälleen vääntyvistä kasvoista.”Minä olen elämässäni laskenut kahta asiaa enemmän kuin mitään muuta. Eivät ne ole markkoja, vuosia, morsiamen määriä tai muuta semmoista, mitä tavallinen mies laskee. Minä olen laskenut sekunteja ja mäkisiä latuosuuksia.Kun minä seisoin kansakoulun luokkahuoneessa räjähtävä kranaatti käsissäni ja katsoin ikkunasta pihalla leikkiviä keskenkasvuisia lapsia, tiesin sekunteja olevan kymmenen. Ensin tuli lyhyt sekunti, sitten monta pitkää. Sen lyhyen aikana päätin, että nakkaan kranaatin pihamaan sijaan opettajanpöydän alle. Ja pitkien aikana pohdin, mahdanko kuolla kerralla vai pitääkö kauankin kitua.”Antti Heikkinen tunnetaan sekä mestarillisista elämäkerroistaan että koskettavista, maaseutu-Suomen arvokkuutta huokuvista romaaneistaan.https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Janet_Evanovich_Game_On?idEbYYEAAAQBAJGame On: Tempting Twenty-EightJanet EvanovichWhen Stephanie Plum is woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps in her apartment, she wishes she didn’t keep her gun in the cookie jar in her kitchen. And when she finds out the intruder is fellow apprehension agent Diesel, six feet of hard muscle and bad attitude who she hasn’t seen in more than two years, she still thinks the gun might come in handy. Turns out Diesel and Stephanie are on the trail of the same fugitive: Oswald Wednesday, an international computer hacker as brilliant as he is ruthless. Stephanie may not be the most technologically savvy sleuth, but she more than makes up for that with her dogged determination, her understanding of human nature, and her willingness to do just about anything to bring a fugitive to justice. Unsure if Diesel is her partner or her competition in this case, she’ll need to watch her back every step of the way as she sets the stage to draw Wednesday out from behind his computer and into the real world.New York TimesStephanie Plum returns to hunt down a new kind of criminal operating out of Trenton in the 28th book in the wildly popular series by #1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich.https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Emma_Vieceli_Life_is_Strange_Volume_5_Coming_Home?idbSVAEAAAQBAJLife is Strange Volume 5: Coming HomeEmma VieceliStranded in a parallel reality, Max Caulfield has spent years searching for a way to get back to her original timeline and the woman she loves.
